Around ten schools across England saw protests on Thursday and Friday over rules on toilet breaks and uniforms.

A number of schools have been locking most of their toilets during lesson times. Parents from one school said children who suffer from bowel issues would have to pay for a doctor’s note to be allowed visits during class, while girls from another school are said to have to get a red card to go to the toilet during their periods.
